Having trouble figuring out when im due and what i should do

I have a question....Im pregnant and i haven't had a menstrual cycle since february, so my dr had my due date as december 2, 2011 and i have all the symptoms for me to be 36 wks tomorrow. but when they gave me my first ultrasound a student did it and she didnt know what she was doing, so they say im only 27 wks tomorrow. The second ultrasound they didnt tell me when they think im due, but they said shes going to be big. I been having contractions but not constant and since the first ultrasound said im not due until february 3, 2012 my dr wants to tie my cervix closed if i start dialating. what should i do? i said when i go into labor im going to go as long as i can at home and then when i cant handle it nomore, ill go to the hospital and hope they dont stop it. with my son i went into labor and my dr was on vacation, so the nurse called him and she didnt tell him the correct week that i was in. i was 34 wks according to my dr but they told him i was only 20 wks, so they stopped my labor and 3 wks later i went into labor and the dr let me have him. my son was 8 lbs 5 oz and supposedly 3 wks early but the dr said he couldnt of been early being that big. then my placenta had grew into my cervix, so he almost had to do surgery to get it out. and everytime i try to remind the dr how i was with my son, he dont listen. so i just dont know if i should just let it go and if they make me go 2 months over due they'll see or if it will hurt the baby and i tell them when i go into labor, just let me have the baby and if they have to send her to tulsa to the big hospital to be put in the nicu, then so be it. what do you'll think?

I would request a new u/s and if they won't find a 3d place and have it done. they can't deny date when they are slapped in the face with proof. go to er request us if nessicary voice your concerns there. find a new doc. so many things can be done.

are you going to an IHS hospital? lol jk It doesn't sound like your doctor is listening to you at all. My theory is always that a baby will come when he/she is good and ready to come. Just because they want to stop labor does NOT mean you have to agree to it. You have the right to make your own health care decisions.

First what I would do is think back to when the 1st day of your last menstral cycle was. It will probably be a few weeks off, but not 9 weeks! Also what I would do is contact another OB office in your area and explain to them your concerns, and see if they will help you out. Then what I would do is switch doctors! I think that is absolutely crazy that they have not measured you at all! Good luck!

thanks for all the advice...i know when i have my periods because we had moved the beginning of february and i had my period while at my brother in laws house. then at my sons bday party in april i still hadnt had a period, and my husbands grandma asked when we were gonna have another one and i told her i might be then and she said good. then the next day i took a pg test and it came up positive, so i know that i couldnt have gotten pregnant after i took a test that said i was pregnant. so since i dont have the money to drive 30 miles to another dr, im just gonna wait to see when i go in labor. if i go in labor between now and december then i know i was right. if i dont go into labor until the end of december or january then i know the dr was right and i just dont know how i could nt be pregnant and take a test that says im pregnant.

even with my son they were 5 wks off and i thought well maybe its cuz i kept moving back and forth from VA to OK. but this time i moved back to OK from VA in june and havnt went back, so i dont know. im in a small town that doesnt have new technology anyway, so i dont know its crazy and since i have some problems like my bladder falling and my cervix upside down and a tilted uterus ( they dont know how i got pregnant even the first time, they said i shouldve never been able to get pregnant ) then maybe thats why they cant get my due dates right. i mean they couldnt even find one of my kidneys when they did my u/s.
